The molarity of a solution is defined as the number of moles of solute dissolved in
- A. 1000 g of solvent
- B. one litre of solvent
- C. one cubic decimetre of solution
- D. one mole of solvent
Explanation
Molarity refers to the total volume of the final solution, not to the volume of solvent used, which is why a standard solution is made up to the mark in a volumetric flask rather than by adding a measured volume of water. Moles per 1000 g of solvent defines molality instead, a quantity that does not change with temperature. The distinction matters whenever a solution is heated.
